Poetry Soup

Poetry Soup Here in this soup We have many ingredients And we need them all It's the unknown blend of spice That fills the soul with comfort Many voices that seek to be heard With many coming to read a poem to relax Here we can be a part of the world And learn from places we never been We can stir in our emotions , love Hate, depression, anxiety, seasons of the year And come to learn you are not the only one No matter the circumstances and others Could embrace and receive strength in your words There are many where this could be There only place to be heard I love it because everyone does not Have to worry about appearances are fear No rolling eyes to be seen or weird faces : ) We can scroll on if we need to control the tongue Show the world your views in your mind The good and the bad to seek better There are many different styles to choose From to be creative if you choose Some are so delicate with words it's art We have opportunities to encourage so many All these creative and seeking individuals Just needing someone to care and understand There are many days if nothing to write about We can come on here and encourage in comments There I have had poems come to me in doing this Poems are the beauty of expression To receive and to give comfort to ones soul As a warm cup of soup on a cold winter night I am not a promoter of the poetry soup for gain : ) Just a simple guy that enjoys the entertainment And friends I have come to know through poems

Your tribute is proof that soup is definitely good for the soul - been ten years in November since I wrote my first poem. I clicked on the 'poem' to listen to it - and got to say I LOVED the song - I am not religious but that is a joy to listen to i love the guy's voice - who was it? hugs jan xx

Lol, I didn't remember putting that song on this poem, did it by mistake, His name is Benny Berry though , he is on the carpenter poem as well, a great friend of mine, he had to want to die before he could live, had all he thought he could ever wanted but knew something was missing, indeed we can all come together from around the world to learn, encourage and make great friends

It used to be a slogan: "soup is good food!'. Seems your poem recognizes that. ;o]

Indeed we are, to be able to embrace people from around the world in a language format where we can all communicate is amazing, so much to gain in this, if we seek

Love this, Stephen! “We have opportunities to encourage so many”—you have been such an encouraging person to me on the Soup, someone who is riddled with self-doubt who really appreciates the kindness that I see here on the soup. This was beautifully crafted. Thanks for sharing your amazing words. Always, Laura

I am just filled with so much joy to see you have stayed at writing for so long, the self-doubt I see as humility, you are such an inspiring and amazing writer that can help so many , from your first poem I read I knew there was something special within you, you have the gift with power of words to help guide so many into peace and joy, love ya

Yes, poetry Soup is a meeting place where we congregate to share our thoughts and views through our poems, also to read poems and comment on them. Here we engage in a give and take business and it is so mutually rewarding ! This site is like a bowl of tasty hot soup on a cold winter day! Well said Stephan !
